The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sky with its constellations, 1 And [by] the promised Day 2 And the witness and the witnessed, 3 Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire), 4 [Containing] the fire full of fuel, 5 when they were seated over it 6 And they witnessed what they were doing against the believers (i.e. burning them). 7 whom they hate for no other reason than that they believe in God, the Almighty, the One to whom all praise is due, 8 Who, to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness over everything. 9 Those who persecute the believing men and believing women, and then do not repent, will surely suffer the punishment of Hell, and the torment of burning. 10 Those who believe, and do righteous deeds, for them await gardens underneath which rivers flow; that is the great triumph. 11 Verily, (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) the Grip (Punishment) of your Lord is severe. 12 It is He who originates and repeats. 13 and He is the Forgiving and Loving One. 14 Lord of the Throne of Glory, 15 Doer (without let) of all that He intends. 16 Hath there come unto thee the story of the hosts 17 Of Pharaoh and Thamud come to you? 18 In fact the disbelievers are in denial. 19 although Allah surrounds them. 20 Nay; but this is a glorious Qur'an, 21 On a guarded tablet. 22
